TELEPHONE VS.. TELEeRarH.-It appears
that communication by telephone to great
distances, though an interesting and Won
derful scientific achievement, is not likely
to prove commercially important. EST
mates 81 Dr. Wietlisbach place the cost of
a telephone line 1.250 miles long. over
which speech is possible, at over $50, 900 !;
and to make such line profitable it must
earn dollar minute. brief conversation
thus costing s. or $40. The telegraph works
at this distance at about tenth of the cost,
and is cheaper for all distances of more
than 300 miles. the economy being with
the telephone below about that limit.

IL the perfect flood of bills that has
deluged the Assembly, We cannot discover
one by title, that proposes a law to have
hung up by the heels and nayed alive all
County Clerks who have wit enough to
draw their salaries, but not enough to obey
plain and simple directions of the statutes
concerning the making out and sending up
of election returns, certificates, etc. Let
some ambitious legislator immortalize him
self by becoming the author of a measure
to meet the need. 1t should apply to all
duties of Clerks relating to elections, for of
this class of officials some at every election
provoke the patience of saints and the
wrath of sinners by their stupidity, pig
medicines and general lack of brains. Let
the Legislature supply them so far as a
law can be made to do so. A sharp penalty
for neglect of duty is wonderful stimu-
liant to activity.

DASTARDLY OUTRAGES.

Last night the miscreants who pose as
the friends of the car-strikers in San Fran
cisco, again resorted to dynamite, de-
stroyed property and wounded people; one
it is feared to her death. When the
strikers put omnibuses on the streets in
opposition to the car lines, they pursued a
lawful and business course. But now
that they again resort to murderous bombs,
there remains only one of two things to do,
to turn over the city to their tender mer-
cies, or line every yard Of the whole
route of the two roads, from end
to end, with police and soldiery, and
preserve the rights of the people,
even if it bankrupts the city. If now the
citizens of the metropolis fail to rise in
their majesty, they win deserve the con-
tempt and execration Of all men. Thus
far they have not even had the courage to
protest, or so much as assemble and Gre
solve for order and the law. The bomb
that nearly killed Mrs. Hildebrandt, like
that in the Haymarket at Chicago last
May, was thrown from Russia; aimed not
against an autocratic monarch, but against
free institutions. The question is, will
freemen preserve the heritage of lii erty,
or yield it to rufiians?

A Remarkable Cure of scrofuia.

William S. Baker, of Lewis, Vego county,
Ind, writes as follows: "My son was taken
with Scrofula in the hip when only two
years old. We tried several physicians, but
the boy got no relief from their treatment.
Noticing your Scovill's Sarsaparilla and
Stillingia, or Blood and Liver Syrup, re-
commended so highly l bought some of
it from you in the year 1862 ard continued
taking i, till the sores finally healed up.
He is now q years of age, and. being sat
istied that your medicine did him so much
good when he used it, we want to try again
in another case, and write to you to get
some more"
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1887-01-14

HooD's Sarsaparilla is characterized by
three peculiarities: LIST, the combination
of remedial agents; I'd, the proportion; Sd,
the process of securing the active medicinal
qualities. The result is a medicine of
unusual strength, effecting cures hitherto
unknown.

THE telegraphed statements of artillery
and naval experts, favoring the new plan
of fortification-artillery pits-are backed
by reason. The idea is to abandon all
raised works for heavy guns in coast de-
Tense. In place of such costly structures,
sink pits, in which place heavy guns to be
raised for firing and lowered for loading
The cost of such sunken classmates would
be less than third of surface fortifica-
tions. They would afford the least posi-
bic target area to an assailant's guns; only
plunging shots could be sent into them,
and such can only be fired from long dis
tances, and even against these the pits can
be largely guarded by shell-proof shields
The " idea would seem to go long way
toward solving the coast defense question.
The one thing necessary to be assured of
would be ease and speed in lifting the
guns-but to such tasks mechanical science
ought to be equal.

A MAN named Evan Sproule was exc
cuted at Victoria recently, for murder He
was an American, and died vehemently
protesting his innocence. 1t will be re-
membered that the United States Govern
ment asked for a reprieve in his case, and
that it was denied. Now comes the news
that 1t can be proven that Sproule could
not have committed the crime for which
he suffered death, because at the time he
was in place distant from the scene of
the homicide. 1t is shown, too, that the
man was executed while an order, issued
in the light of the fact that an alibi could
be proved, existed for the suspension of
the execution, and that the Sheriff dis
obeyed it. If these facts are clearly estab-
lished, the claim of the brother of the in
nocent man against the Province for dam
ages, will very likely receive aid in the
form of sympathetic interest by our Gov
eminent, and possibly of material aid

The New york Labor troubles

: New York, February ID. The Brew
er's Union met to day. Members were
outspoken against the leaders of Dis
trict Assembly 40, and said they could
not understand why the brewers, OF all
trades. had been ordered to help
bolster the forlorn cause al the eleventh
hour. which "49" had vainly ordered
them to do. Herbrandt, secretary OF the
National Brewers Union, expressed the
belief that the strike had been wholly
mismanaged from the start and il. was
deemed TO disastrous collapse from its
inception. The brewers would not
strike because they were earning good
wages and would not risk these
advantages, besides breaking their
contract, when the result would
only be addition to the con-
mon Loss. Resolutions embodying
these opinions were adopted and this
action was supplemented by an official
determination tnat the brewers organi-
cation should withdraw its delegates
from District 46, which is practically d
secession from tina. body. The beer
dryers organization at a meeting at The
same hall, later in the day, took acton
identicaliy with that of the Brewers
Union.
Delegation from 'Longshore Unions
of New York, Brooklyn, and Jersey
City, had a convention this afternoon.
The men were in conference four hours
and they decided not to return TO WORK,
save at 40 cents per hour, day woIk,an
go cents per hour overtime. One ship
owner was present ana agreed 10 set
1-5 men at work at once at 40 and 60
cents, pending q permanent adjustment
of prices, but with the understanding
that if the general scale become 80 ana
40, his work should be then done BY
men at the same rates. This PROPOSE
ton was accepted. There was devel-
Oped a strong undertOne of feeling
against those who ha1 led the men into
the late fearless strike.
